Over the following days in high school, Nathan, due to his troubled parent's marriage, begins skipping school and for one period asks Haley to join him. Reluctantly she agrees and they go to Dan's beach house. As they start drinking, they are eventually caught by Nathan's dad, Dan. He drags them to the car and as Haley tries to get out in time, she throws up all over Dan's leg. The following day, Haley agrees to skip another period, but Nathan is shocked as he finds she has failed her first exam due to her skipping. With this in mind, he apologizes to Haley and tells her that it is not her to skip class and he does not want to change her. The two agree that Haley will not skip class again.
